As you may know, once you get your list, you are free to start writing postcards to folks who are below you on the list, then go to the top of your list of 32. Please write 31 cards and get them in the mail by August 31. I will get the first lists out on July 4 and I am grateful to the response to this project which I love more every year.
If you haven’t already, check out my postcard essay on Rattle:
And I’ll leave you with one of the collage cards I made for either THIS fest, or a future fest:

Posted at 08:48h, 02 JulyYou left off Georgia, the state from which I write. I hadn’t thought of it before, but I can see how people are going to sign up thinking they are in this year’s fest and will actually be in next year’s.

Posted at 09:04h, 02 JulyThanks for the updates! I relied on an Excel sort function by state, so those who did not fill in the two letter state abbreviation were left off.

So am I reading the message correctly that the timeline is that registration for #13 (2019) ends at midnight on the 18th and then registration for #14 (for August 2020) begins at 12:01 am on the 19th?
Splabman
Posted at 13:19h, 03 JulyYes Walter. Confusing, I know. I am grateful for your continued inspired fest participation.

Posted at 05:28h, 04 JulyPaul – I was confused signing up so I’m checking to make sure I’m registered for August ’19. My state of Oklahoma was not included in the list of States. I look forward to hearing from you. Julane Borth, Oklahoma City
